Our oldest three children have cut the apron strings, the next is looking to the time when he will cut the apron strings, and a few little ones are still clinging to Mama's Apron Strings. Here you'll get a peek into my simple, yet fulfilling world.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07862575244739399798noreply@blogger.comBlogger266125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7284866038719721443.post-8511472181272688592013-05-14T10:07:00.001-05:002013-05-14T10:07:23.270-05:00Big Things are Happening!<div style="text-align: center;">

All that noise? No? </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Ok. Never mind. It's just all those crazy ideas and things to do and appointments to keep that are clunking around in my head. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Thanks<span style="font-size: large;"> to</span> my menu planning last week <span style="font-size: large;">things </span>went much more smoothly,<span style="font-size: large;"> all</span> because I took the time to <span style="font-size: large;">make a plan, </span>jot it down and post it in a handy place. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">The family was happier, too. They had half-way healthy and filling meals to enjoy!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">The high light meal last week was not one of my home-cooked meals, though. It had to be Dad's birthday dinner at one of our favorite restaurants. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">A real treat because:</span><br />
<ol>
<li><span style="font-size: large;">It was Dad's birthday</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;">We rarely eat out, especially at a nice wait-to-be-seated-let-me-take-your-order kind of restaurant</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;">All our (nearby) children were able to join us (though we missed our <i>not</i> nearby children!)</span></li>
</ol>
<span style="font-size: large;">We followed up dinner with birthday cake and ice cream - of course.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Not everyone knows this, but my laundress left me in February. I know, I know, life is tough. But I'm getting over it. Really. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"> </span><span style="font-size: large;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-dgTTVkwXqxo/UW12XnlkYII/AAAAAAAADNA/P32Yo-SMaII/s400/laundry+2.jpg" width="336" /> </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Let me explain - After My Girl Caitlin finished her high school work, she took over laundry duties for our family. It freed me up to get other things done, like schooling her younger siblings, getting meals on the table, etc. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">And then she went off and got herself married! </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">And so I took back laundry duties. To my surprise, I've actually enjoyed this mundane task. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">And here are 10 reasons why, in no particular order: </span></div>
<ol>
<li><span style="font-size: large;">Sorting laundry is an activity that keeps the hands busy while leaving the brain free to think. Have a problem to solve? sort laundry. Have an attitude to correct? sort laundry. Have a decorating dilemma? sort laundry. You get the idea.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;">Laundry Day is the perfect time to get set up for the Great Seasonal Switch-Over. Those heavy winter sweaters and fleece lined jackets are now clean and folded and ready for winter storage.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;">Along with the seasonal clothing changes comes the time to weed out clothing that no longer fits. When I find myself washing that t-shirt so-and-so refuses to give up even though there's a gap above the waistband of his bluejeans, I can stealthily slip it into the donate pile, and then don a look of vague recollection when asked "Mom where's that shirt go?!"</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;">Laundry day also gives me the opportunity to purge a bit. How many pairs of pink short does you-know-who need, anyway! Time to donate a pair, or 2 or 3. I'm sure there is some other princess-fashionista ready and willing to don these lovely garments.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;">Speaking of the fashionista - I learn much about my family's fashion sense when I work my way through the mountains of laundry on WashDay. This one is definitely into pink and purple. This one seems to wear mostly soft knits in bold colors. That one wears jeans everyday, hardly ever puts on a pair of shorts, while the other wears shorts year round. No more ruffles for that girl. Hmmm, make note Mama. No need spending money on clothing they refuse to wear.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;">I mentioned paring down duplicates and tossing outgrown clothing. Another important task to take care of is mending. Can that seam be re-sewn? Can I patch that knee? Here's a button needing to be replaced. </span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;">You'll learn much about your children and their interest on laundry days. Have you ever cleaned out an 8 year old's pockets? Marbles and nerf ammunition and candy wrappers with chewed up gum inside and rocks and sticks and lego men and coins and brown crayon bits and paper shavings and frogs and plastic army men. . . There are stories to tell with each item. These are things important to them.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;">With the sound of running water and the children occupied elsewhere in the house (working on school assignments I hope) I often get lost as I reminisce days-gone-by. This mom of many often relives moments as she picks up a sweet dress our youngest wore while splashing through mud puddles, and is transported back to a day when our other girls may have worn the same dress. Or maybe I find myself shaking out dirt from rolled up cuffs after the boys have been out exploring, shaking my head and laughing as I recall a day long a go when our now grown up son collected dirt in the same way. </span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;">As I sort my family's laundry, wash it clean, dry it soft, fold it neat, I find it gives me opportunity to pray over each of my loved ones. Monday is Laundry Day here. I find it the perfect way to get a good start to our week.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;">Aaaahhhhhhh. There is satisfaction in a job well done.</span> </li>
</ol>

Once again, I have let life distractions interfere with my prep work and planning for our meals this month. While I did stock up before the start of April, I had only made some preliminary plans which I kept stored away in my cluttered brain.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">After taking inventory of frig, freezer and pantry, I put together the delicious menu for the week:</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">See this boy? </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">This cute 10 year old with the infectious grin?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Don't let this face fool you. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">He's ruthless. Absolutely ruthless!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Let me explain: This fellow is a Game-Player. Loves games! Especially board games. And more specifically, board games involving strategy. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-he_bGRJKyB0/UWTOZOcpmMI/AAAAAAAADLU/tyh3QEDEJMo/s1600/Board+Game+1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="254" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-he_bGRJKyB0/UWTOZOcpmMI/AAAAAAAADLU/tyh3QEDEJMo/s320/Board+Game+1.jpg" width="320" /></a></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">As in, use-your-brain kind of games. You know, the type of games his Mother really stinks at. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">This point was driven home the other day when this <strike>sweet</strike> calculating 10 year old and I (his dear mother) sat down for a friendly game of Othello. Well, I was busy <strike>randomly</strike> thoughtfully placing my pieces in their little green spaces while my opponent speedily dropped his pieces here and there, willy-nilly-like.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Or so I thought. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Before long, I begin hearing things like: "Are you sure you want to put it there, Mom?" or "Did you see this spot over here?" </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">To which Mother replies, "Now, why would I want to place my piece there?"</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">And he says to me, "Oh, it's just that, if you put it there, then I'll do this, and then you'll do that, and then I'll turn over all these and then you'll lose."</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">And then he flashed that grin.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-LRSyL3J-WP8/UWTOZGn0grI/AAAAAAAADLQ/SN9X1V5R1wA/s1600/Board+Game+2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="227" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-LRSyL3J-WP8/UWTOZGn0grI/AAAAAAAADLQ/SN9X1V5R1wA/s320/Board+Game+2.jpg" width="320" /></a></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"> <span style="font-size: large;">Really? <span style="font-size: large;">He could see ahead 2, 3, 4 moves ahead? Sheesh! I was doing good just trying to find more t<span style="font-size: large;">han 1 or 2 discs to flip each turn. </span></span></span> </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">We finish the game. Yeah, <span style="font-size: large;">B</span>oy wins, Mom loses, Big Time! OK. Yes! HE CLEANED MY CLOCK! <span style="font-size: small;">(there. I said it.)</span> </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Then this mother smiles broadly and does the gracious thing. She gives the winner's hand a congratulatory shake, happy to be a good sport, showing the now rather large audience that had gathered how to be a good loser. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">And as she walks away, if one were to be listening ever so carefully, they might here words being muttered under her breath. Words something like, <span style="font-size: x-small;">"That's the last time I'm ever playing with him, I tell you what!"</span></span></div>

You can't go wrong with Classic Vanilla Ice Cream, but you can easily adapt this to your family's favorite flavors. This recipe is very forgiving - if it isn't sweet enough, add more sugar, if it is too dry, add more cream. Need more flavor? Add more! Enjoy!!!</div>

And so this homeschooling mama could not let the opportunity for an impromptu science lesson pass us by.<br />
<br />

</tbody></table>
For years now, we've taken the Egg Challenge as close to the time of the Spring Equinox as possible, or as soon as we remember that we are supposed to take the Egg Challenge at the moment of the Spring Equinox.<br />
<br />
What? You've never heard of the Egg Challenge? And what, pray tell, is an Equinox? Well, let me enlighten you! According to <a href="http://www.almanac.com/content/first-day-spring-vernal-equinox" target="_blank">Old Farmer's Almanac:</a><br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
"The word <i>equinox</i> is derived from the Latin words meaning “equal
night.” Days and nights are approximately equal everywhere and the Sun
rises and sets due east and west." and "At the equinoxes, the tilt of Earth relative to the Sun is zero, which
means that Earth’s axis neither points toward nor away from the Sun." </blockquote>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<img border="0" height="390" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/--GiqfHktgGg/UUvARm8P8vI/AAAAAAAADKw/hvtGaNWpC64/s320/egg+Collage.jpg" width="400" /></div>
<br />
The Egg Challenge states that you should be able to stand a raw egg on end at the time of the Equinox. We've had successful years, and not-so-successful years. This year? After taking estimates at how many tries it will take to accomplish our assignment, SUCCESS! Not once, not twice, but three times successful! Two of our eggs stayed upright all day yesterday, the third was upset by a rather rambunctious young scientist who wishes to remain nameless.<br />
<br />
So, there you have it - science/astronomy/physics/math, all rolled up into one. Now you give it a try, and don't believe it when someone tells you school is boring! <br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">We celebrated our Esther's 12th birthday last week with her favorite meal (chicken parm<span style="font-size: large;">e</span>san - how grown up is that?!) and a cake decorated with her favorite color (just a coincidence it's so close to St. Patty's Day) and fun times with family and friends. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Her birthday wish list included:</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> a floor lamp <span style="font-size: large;">to put beside her bed <span style="font-size: large;">(she's practical like that)</span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;"> a journal (a <span style="font-size: large;">girl has ideas<span style="font-size: large;"> to jot<span style="font-size: large;"> down, y'know)</span></span></span></span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;"> <span style="font-size: large;">pierced ears (<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;">just like her older sisters now!<span style="font-size: large;">)</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;"> and a kitten (<span style="font-size: large;">she<span style="font-size: large;"> gets to pick from Sophie's litter<span style="font-size: large;">, as soon as they are born)</span></span></span> </span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Seems like yesterday this Little Queen arrived and we all spent our days sitting around oohing and aahing over her, walking the floors with her trying to convince her that sleep really is a very good thing, disguising vegetables so she wouldn't know <span style="font-size: large;">what she was eating and </span>would grow strong and healthy. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">It's an exciting time, watching what God will do in her life, helping her find the path she's to follow, what interests and talents will emerge as she continues to grow and mature. Our Esther is a joy and a delight, a sweet blessing. We love you dear daughter!</span><br />

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">

<br />
Now is the time for me to report on my progress. S - L - O - W. That's how it's going. I took on a <strike>big</strike> <span style="font-size: large;"><strike>huge</strike></span> <span style="font-size: x-large;">humongous</span> project, amidst other on-going projects. Maybe I'm crazy, but in the long run, all the chaos will be worth it. I'm bound and determined to get the storage room cleaned out, straightened up, and used to store only what it should be storing. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-_M2t9E2VrWY/UUZ2yBRsEiI/AAAAAAAADIU/RTjTXMK6C7A/s1600/storage+room+plan+sheet.jpg"><img border="0" height="138" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-_M2t9E2VrWY/UUZ2yBRsEiI/AAAAAAAADIU/RTjTXMK6C7A/s200/storage+room+plan+sheet.jpg" width="200" /></a></div>
At the beginning of the month I printed out Laura's Organizing <a href="http://orgjunkie.com/2007/06/how-to-get-organized-follow-these-process-steps.html" target="_blank">PROCESS</a>
and jotted down a few notes and goals. How does this space need to be
used? What do I really want to keep and what can I let go? Setting categories of items needing to be stored will help me in
the organizing step later. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

OK! Are you ready? Do you have the courage? Sure you can handle this? I'm going to let you see behind that closed door!<br />

Now, after you've recovered from the shock of the nightmare-behind-the-door, I'll give you the update on my planning and progress. <br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Here is the 'BEFORE' look at </span>the first section of shelving you see when you walk in. It holds our collection of jigsaw puzzles and not-so-popular games, extra book storage (including a few of hubby's college/engineering/reference books) as well as past homeschool records/papers. </div>
</div>
<br />
The kids helped me clear it ALL out - and now look at them!<br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
Where did everything go? We hauled it all out to the floor in the middle of the TV room and sorted through it. I was on a mission and so did not get photos of every pile and every item, but if it was broken or missing parts, out it went. If no one uses it, to the donate piles it went.</div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
You can see in the pic above some of what is leaving this house -- (1) Passing on jigsaw puzzles to other family members to enjoy. (2) Trash! 2 large bags full and a box-turned-racecar filled. WootWoot! (3) games puzzles and dress up items heading to the thrift store.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
This is just the beginning folks! We are continuing the Remove and Purge phase of this big project. We've been filling this space for a dozen years now. That adds up to a lot of stuff. And when you haven't taken time to maintain and set to order what you've been collecting and storing, well, it is important to take time and do the job right. I'll be posting at the end of the week with another update, sharing more about the hows and whats and whys of it all.</div>

It was a joyful occasion, a bitter-sweet occasion. We are happy for her, happy our family is growing, but we miss her. She was my right-hand-woman for quite some time and now I feel a little 'off', a little handi-capped. Her siblings miss her. We have an odd number of people in this household now, weird!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">And so, as a distraction, and to set things up for the younger ones to get more focused attention from their Mama, we are diving into the Great Bedroom Switch-er-oo!</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Even with the world outside still clothed in all its Winter Glory, the kids and I have decided to live by faith and 'think spring' and get our seeds started. </span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Planning out our summer garden gives us a sense of hope and new life. I love the way God has given us four distinct seasons, ordered our days in such a predictable way that after the dead of winter everything around us comes to life again.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Our seeds are watered and warming in the sun and under the grow lamp. We are watching with anticipation for those tender shoots to come pushing up through the black soil. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Have you started seeds? Planned your summer garden? What will you be planting this year?</span><br />

<br />
On a lovely June day, in a small town in New Hampshire in the year 1991, a beautiful Princess was born to Mr. and Mrs. S. They named their third child Caitlin. The sweet New England babe brought great joy to their lives. Toward the end of her first year, the Sears family moved to the midwest.<br />
<br />
In December of the year Princess Caitlin and her family arrived in Illinois, Prince Stephen was born to Mr. and Mrs. C in a large town near Chicago. There was great celebration as their 5th blessing joined their family. But, alas, though living in the same land the Prince and Princess were not yet to meet.<br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Princess Caitlin’s family stayed in the Land of Illinois only a short time and then traveled far and wide for several years. At last they settled in Missouri when she was 7 years of age.<br />
<br />
Only a year later Prince Stephen’s family followed, making their home in a nearby village. Still, for all of their closeness in distance they had yet to meet.<br />
<br />
At long last, in the start of the New Year of 2005 Prince Stephen’s and Princess Caitlin’s families meet. Attending the same church in a nearby city, a family friendship begins that was to lead to greater things in years to come.<br />
<br />
The years go by, the little Prince and Princess grow and play and learn under the watchful eye of their loving parents, each in their own family, the paths of their lives crossing from time to time. In the fall of 2011, each of them became involved in a group of Christian young people, learning and enjoying English Country dancing. A Grand Ball was held at Christmas time that year. Prince Stephen began to notice this beautiful princess among the people. He started to pray about his growing attraction to the lovely lady.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-SyqA1jgSlR8/UTNZ-qm5SJI/AAAAAAAADE0/p1O7E51HFqc/s1600/c,+s+-+spring+ball.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="218" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-SyqA1jgSlR8/UTNZ-qm5SJI/AAAAAAAADE0/p1O7E51HFqc/s320/c,+s+-+spring+ball.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
Meanwhile, Princess Caitlin was quite annoyed by the young man. You see, Prince Stephen has long been a good friend to her brother Luke. And now, it seemed, he was often intruding on precious time she spent with her dear brother. But with time, she found that maybe this young man was not quite so bad . . . just maybe it was rather nice having him around.<br />
<br />
On the 17th of March, 2012, Brother Luke, as yet unaware of the growing attraction between Princess Caitlin and Prince Stephen, invited many friends to the Family Castle for a day of Paintball Fun. Many Princes and Princesses from nearby Hamlets arrived and spent the day frolicking and game-playing. At the close of day, as dusk approached, the young people returned to the Castle, piled in the back of Father's little green pick-up truck. From across the way, there was a little sparkle in the eye of Prince Stephen, and was that a reflection of the setting sun in Princess Caitlin’s eye, or something more? <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
On April 16, 2012, following other Providential events and the counsel of his parents, Prince Stephen approached the Princess's Father and asked for the opportunity to court his daughter, with the intent to marry if they found it to be God’s Will. Princess Caitlin, when asked by her father if she would welcome this type of attention from this Prince, said she would. The following day, the 17th of April, Princess Caitlin gave her acceptance to Prince Stephen and the journey to engagement began!<br />
<br />
Throughout the coming summer the Prince and Princess ate together, prayed together, played together. On September 2, Prince Stephen asked Princess Caitlin’s Father for her hand in marriage. This Prince wasted no time, and on September 3rd, in the Year of Our Lord Two Thousand and Twelve, Prince Stephen proposed to Princess Caitlin and she . . . <br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
. . . ACCEPTED!!! </div>
<br />
All were delighted and immediately celebrated and began to plan the wedding of a lifetime. <br />

<br />
And on February 17, 2013, 11 months to the day since they had enjoyed their first sunset “together”, our Beloved Prince and Princess said their vows and shared their first kiss before God, family and friends and were married. . .<br />

<span style="font-size: large;">My girl has her own style, her own spin on life, her own way of looking at things. She loves the Lord, loves her family, loves her new husband. She's a bit of a loner and seeks solitude and quiet when needing to recharge or work through the tough things in life. She is fiercely loyal and a non-conformist by nature. As a rule, she does not let what others say and do dictate what she says, does and believes. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">And so, this girl of mine did NOT wear or carry something blue when she walked down the aisle on Sunday. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">But there has still been plenty of 'blue' around here. While we are all very happy for her, and excited for her, and pray for her and cheer for her, we miss her. Mixed emotions. We are all working hard to see the 'rosy' things in her new life with Stephen amidst the 'blue' that comes with missing her. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"> <span style="font-size: large;">C</span>razy, isn't it, that I've been posting about this big wedding in our family and have no photos of the big event to share? The bride and groom whisked off on their honeymoon trip straight from the reception and until they have seen the photos, I think I should hold off. Once they return home and I have permission from the photographer, you can rest assured, I'll be sharing plenty!</span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">On Sunday, our daughter Cai<span style="font-size: large;">tlin </span>married her young man and since they have not returned from the honeymoon trip, I don't have permission to post pictures<span style="font-size: large;"> y<span style="font-size: large;">et</span></span>.

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Before we removed the veiling from the headpiece I wore (nearly 29 years ago!), we had some fun dressing up the younger girls - dreaming and reminiscing and sharing. </span><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;">At 11 years old, we were amazed at how well my gown fit her! She's growing up fast and doing a good job filling her big sisters shoes (and mama's wedding dress!) already.<span style="font-size: large;"> </span></span>At 6 years old, Rebekah was in her element. She would have been happy to trounce around in it all day long.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"> The bride will be wearing a brand new gown on her wedding day, but she won't allow me to give a sneak peak. But the flower girl (littlest sister) has agreed to let everyone have a glimpse of <i>her</i> new dress (made by mama). </span><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Something old,</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Something new,</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Something borrowed,</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Something blue.</span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">To fill the requirement for the first line of this little poem we took my own wedding dress down off the shelf. No, she won't be wearing it. Honestly I don't think anyone will ever wear it. I remember feeling like a princess on our special day nearly 30 years ago but much of it has yellowed with <strike>age</strike> time. Besides, some of the fabric was, well, from an era long ago and of a rather polyester-ish quality. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-size: large;">I decided to create a few Keepsakes with bits and trims and layers from my gown.

<br />
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>
<tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-IhX-10l7s78/URDjrJHTzgI/AAAAAAAAC98/Ri8_TuenvIg/s1600/grocery+tote+1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-IhX-10l7s78/URDjrJHTzgI/AAAAAAAAC98/Ri8_TuenvIg/s400/grocery+tote+1.jpg" width="333" /></a></td></tr>
<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">my grocery helper carrying several canned goods, a couple boxes of mac/cheese, a bag of pretzels and tortilla chips, probably a few more items as well</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
A Grocery Tote made from grocery bags. You know, those plastic bags that seem to breed in the dark corners of the pantry or broom closet or kitchen cabinet?<br />
<br />
And where would I come up with such a wacky idea? <br />
It happened something like this:<br />
<br />
While traveling across the midwest via train, a friend <strike>hollers</strike> calls out,<br />
"Hey, Linda! You need to come see this!"<br />
<br />
I walk up the aisle and look in the direction my friend is pointing.<br />
I meet a sweet lady with an unusual handbag. A handbag crocheted from strips of plastic grocery bags.<br />
<br />
"Do you mind if I have a closer look," I ask her.<br />
<br />
"Be my guest," she says, and she proceeds to open her handcrafted purse. She gives me a tour, invites me to dig in and see the construction all the way down deep to the bottom. She grins and shares how a friend made it just for her and how it's the perfect thing for traveling. We discuss all the possibilities and uses and you-coulds.<br />
<br />
<br />
Once I had returned home, I 'googled' and searched and found out that when you cut those pesky plastic bags into strips (cut off the handles, slit open the bottom, begin cutting 1 inch strips in a circular fashion) and roll them into a ball like you would yarn, you have created 'plarn'. Cool!<br />
<br />
I saw many patterns out there, but opted to create my own. I made several sturdy foundation rows using a half-double-crochet and then worked rows in the round, with a bit of an open pattern.<br />
<br />
<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: right; margin-left: 1em; text-align: right;"><tbody>
<tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-AEN0X7xlhxg/URDjhzDC51I/AAAAAAAAC90/CaWmsfr5xTw/s1600/grocery+tote+2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-AEN0X7xlhxg/URDjhzDC51I/AAAAAAAAC90/CaWmsfr5xTw/s320/grocery+tote+2.jpg" width="292" /></a></td></tr>
<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">the perfect grocery tote or beach bag or whatever bag</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
To form the handle, I chained several stitched at about a third into the row, slip-stitched it to the previous row and continued around, creating a matching handle around the other side.<br />
<br />
I then single-crocheted a couple of rows to finish it off. This was a create-as-you go project, and lots of fun! It was quick and easy. Once my stash of bags gets unmanageable again, I think I'll have a couple of my assistants making up big balls of 'plarn' so I can create a few more.<br />
<br />
A big thank you goes to this friendly lady, wherever/whoever she may be for inspiring this project.<br />
<br />

"Have you finished your chores?" "Did you check the chore board?"<br />
How many times have I asked these questions in nearly 27 years of parenting? With 8 children, I really am not up to doing the math at the moment.<br />
<br />
One of the most common questions I get from young moms deal with chores. I am not going to address just which chores children should be doing at different ages (that just might be another post!). But I would like to show you the system we've used for almost 20 years.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-bwBl5wfWq4E/UQlb7CA1eRI/AAAAAAAAC8c/qoVTZxCzO9k/s1600/chore+board+2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="325" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-bwBl5wfWq4E/UQlb7CA1eRI/AAAAAAAAC8c/qoVTZxCzO9k/s640/chore+board+2.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The story behind our chore board and how it works:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I asked Handy-Dandy-Hubbie to pound nails into a board in 4 rows (one row per child), leaving space on the left for names. He used a couple of scrap pieces from our cedar siding. He had it ready in under a half hour. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<img border="0" height="303" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-R92NqVQ_7jw/UQlb7op9VlI/AAAAAAAAC8k/H3kXzcYuFpI/s320/chore+board+closeup.jpg" width="320" /> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Next I painted the names of each child along the left edge. I then took my list of jobs/chores/habits I needed to be attended to each day and made a picture card for each. The little cards used for organizing embroidery floss were the perfect thing - just the right size and a little hole making it ready for hanging.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
For Habits such as make your bed and brush your teeth I made 4 copies, one for each child. For regular chores like meal prep, meal clean up, wash table, etc. we used a rotating system, so I made one card per chore and then rotated them monthly. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
At the beginning of each month chores from child #1 are passed down to child #2, #2 was passed to #3, #3 was passed to #4 and #4 were passed to #1. These little cards are so much easier than writing out lists or printing off new lists or keeping track of everyone's lists. At times, I have had each child turn their card over when the had finished that particular chore. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
To create the cards, originally, I drew a little picture freehand to represent the chore. I still have a few for posterity's sake, but with so much clipart and images available I searched and found cute little pictures to update and give a new spin on things for our younger children.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
A tip for Moms of Many -- as the older 4 kids grew up and out of our little system, I had Luke make wooden tags on which I painted the next 4 children's names. He drilled a couple of holes in each tag and added a couple of nails so I could hang them. Sentimental Mom that I am, I just couldn't paint over the top of my the 'original four'. Seeing their names makes me smile, takes me on a walk down memory lane. Fun!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
This little system has been a wonderful tool over the years. It works beautifully, but just like any system, it works best when Mom stays on top of things and follow through and check up on progress. And that, dear friends, is a topic for yet another post!</div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><i>January is nearly over and I'm ready to catch my breath! </i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<span style="font-size: large;">Thanks to the blogger ladies who hosted the New Year's Organizing Revolution, I've cleaned up <a href="http://hsmominmo.blogspot.com/2013/01/organzing-revolution-office.html" target="_blank">my office area</a>, <a href="http://hsmominmo.blogspot.com/2013/01/organizing-revolution-kitchen.html" target="_blank">organized some kitchen cabinets</a>, did <a href="http://hsmominmo.blogspot.com/2013/01/organizing-revolution-closets.html" target="_blank">an overhaul on 2 closets</a> and spruced up my living room<span style="font-size: large;"> (remember the </span></span><span style="font-size: large;">sneak pe<span style="font-size: large;">ak at <a href="http://hsmominmo.blogspot.com/2013/01/organzing-revolution-living-room.html" target="_blank">my new stereo cabinet</a> last week</span></span><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;">?).</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">What? You haven't seen the <span style="font-size: large;">rest of the </span>living room yet? <span style="font-size: large;"> </span>Well, then, please take a look!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<br />
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">BEFORE</span></td></tr>
</tbody></table>
<span style="font-size: large;">You can see above, the state of this room before. Piles here and there, the sock basket left on the couch, parafernalia left behind after a visit from the grandkids, over-stuffed bookshelves -- Yikes! does anyone else's living room get into such a state? </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I put every to work taking (almost) everything out of the room. Wish I had the magic of television to capture the scene - you know, those shows where people swapped houses for a weekend and emptied out and re-decorated a room in each others' houses? That's what it looked like in my living room this weekend. My assistants were all a-blurr moving everything out.</span><br />
<br />
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>
<tr><td style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-w-7ziTwojWk/UQaHWBcl6OI/AAAAAAAAC7A/MDlMYrSJ0Kc/s1600/living+room+empty.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="275" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-w-7ziTwojWk/UQaHWBcl6OI/AAAAAAAAC7A/MDlMYrSJ0Kc/s400/living+room+empty.jpg" width="400" /></a></span></td></tr>
<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">(mostly) EMPTY!</span></td></tr>
</tbody></table>
<span style="font-size: large;">Once everything but the large furniture was removed, I swapped out the bookcases. There wasn't going to be much furniture rearranging, since sweet hubbie likes his favorite green chair just where it is, and he prefers the other chair and couch where they are. He has so few requests when it comes to the house, I'm happy to comply with his wishes. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I was thinking it'll be nice to have things cleaned up and cleaned out, but everything will basically be the same. I was ok with that. What I didn't expect was how much difference moving 2 pieces would make. And how much I LOVE the emptiness. </span><br />
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

<span style="font-size: large;">So, what did I put back in the room? The most important items and our most favorite things. That's <span style="font-size: large;">it</span>. I am so pleased with the results!</span><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">My absolute favorite thing in this room now? My new family gallery wall:</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">And so we come to a new week, a new room, a new project. On to the living room! </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Today, (and tomorrow, and maybe even the next day) we are doing a little purging, a little rearranging, a little decorating and updating in our main living area. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Starting with the spot where we keep the stereo and cd's. The place where all good dust bunnies go to hide, or die, or multiply, or whatever it is they do. </span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">Crazy, isn't it? How is it that all that dust and cobweb-by yuckiness collects around the electronics? And if there is a tiny space under the stand or cabinet or behind the unit it becomes a magnet for, well, you know! </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">(Imagine here a photo of those <strike>cute</strike> dusty little critters. Alas, the battery on my camera went dead and so you are spared the ugly sight.)</span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></span></span></span></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I came up with a solution for the taming of the dustbunnies <span style="font-size: large;">AND</span> keeping our stereo and supplies organized and lovely to look at. I presented the idea to my amazingly talented husband and he has custom-built for me this perfect little cubbie-cabinet. </span><br />
<br />
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Stereo/Entertainment Area - AFTER</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
<span style="font-size: large;">The stereo unit is now up at a more user-friendly level. I have my eye on baskets just the right size for containing the cd's and other stereo accoutrement<span style="font-size: large;"> (think IKEA<span style="font-size: large;">-style)</span></span>. They'll fit nicely into those cubb<span style="font-size: large;">ie</span>-holes<span style="font-size: large;">, but I'll wait pat<span style="font-size: large;">iently</span> and be content with th<span style="font-size: large;">is</span> big imp<span style="font-size: large;">rovement we've made already.</span></span> Perfect! Love it! I'm so happy!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Stay tuned for the next installment of our living room make-over. It'll be an ongoing project this weekend and I'll keep you posted!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: small;">I will not be adding my link to this week's challenge since I'm still in the midst of the big re-do of our living room, but I'll still be checking out what others have done. I'll be voting and I hope you will too.

<span style="font-size: large;">First Up: The Coat Closet </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"> <img border="0" height="342" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-zXyuuYVq-3c/UPgzHo0XIrI/AAAAAAAAC10/GcDPFLkHa9g/s400/coat+closet+before+Collage.jpg" width="400" /></span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Just look at this cluttered, inefficient, totally embarrassing excuse for a coat closet in the front entryway to my home. Shameful! </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Well, now take a look at what my handy-dandy-six-year-old-helper and I did yesterday. (wish I had picture of her working hard, but she was on the other side of the camera this time around)</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">First, following <a href="http://orgjunkie.com/category/the-organizing-process" target="_blank">the PROCESS</a>, we completely emptied the space. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-HS49_S31Izs/UPg1Gd85EOI/AAAAAAAAC2g/TaF_o7TEWU0/s1600/closet+empty.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><br /></a></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">We purged and sorted and returned items to where they belong and found new homes for some things and added more to our Donation Station.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">What did we put back into the space? Only things we use and wear. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><img border="0" height="267" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-X7BfX1wrZr8/UPgzE38kLAI/AAAAAAAAC1s/93GZ6OcpNNU/s400/coat+closet+after+Collage.jpg" width="400" /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"> On the upper shelf we stored the lightbox Dad and Caitlin sometimes use. and various binoculars/spotting scopes for bird watching, nature walks, hunting. On the lower shelf we put a bin for outdoor kidfun equipment (like bubbles and chalk and such). The drawstring bag and bin under the shelf hold wooden blocks for kiddos. This may not make sense in other families, but this is where we go to look for them, so when the grandkids come to visit, that's where they'll go to find them. So they stay. We slimmed down our collection of coats and now have room for guests to hang theirs - Nice!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-ZMBE8wtKUFI/UPgzH9lGS3I/AAAAAAAAC14/art0Zs0pQng/s1600/wrapping+materials.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="148" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-ZMBE8wtKUFI/UPgzH9lGS3I/AAAAAAAAC14/art0Zs0pQng/s200/wrapping+materials.jpg" width="200" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Now, the dilemma - where do I put all the wrapping/shipping materials? Not back in this closet. I'm on the lookout for just the right spot, so I'm scouring the house with my newly shined organizer glasses. We'll find a solution, just praying it's the right one so I don't have to keep moving and readjusting.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Next Up: The Broom Closet</span><br /><span style="font-size: large;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-UXWAiOt8YwA/UPg5e7ZkimI/AAAAAAAAC3Q/iEkeGl6h2k8/s1600/Closet+Before+Collage.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-UXWAiOt8YwA/UPg5e7ZkimI/AAAAAAAAC3Q/iEkeGl6h2k8/s400/Closet+Before+Collage.jpg" width="400" /></a></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">You see before you very eyes another shameful mess. This closet is right next to the kitchen area and is the hold-all, catch-all for housekeeping and home maintenance. From time to time we clean it out and put things back in an orderly fashion, but it doesn't take long to look like the photo above. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">So, here we go again!<br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-HS49_S31Izs/UPg1Gd85EOI/AAAAAAAAC2g/TaF_o7TEWU0/s1600/closet+empty.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-HS49_S31Izs/UPg1Gd85EOI/AAAAAAAAC2g/TaF_o7TEWU0/s320/closet+empty.jpg" width="171" /></a></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">First we <span style="font-size: large;">empty the space. Then we purge, sort, and containerize. </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"> Take a look at the result. Amazing! Love it! So nice!A place for everything and everything in it's place. The brightly colored bins are from the nearby dollar store - the perfect thing to keep bottles and and such corralled. The green bin for small paper bags and a magazine holder turned on it's side is perfect for keeping old newspapers contained. If the bins start overflowing, it's time to get rid of some. On the floor a cardboard box to keep grocery totes and paper sacks from sprawling all over the place. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Now let's look at solutions we found for two problem areas. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">1. brooms, mops, dusters, etc were either shoved in, falling over, or on random nails here and there. This little rack took care of all these problems. Luke installed one on each side wall in a manner of minutes. Love it! </span><br />
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-w89MUXsRDfQ/UPg5mbJW8-I/AAAAAAAAC3k/yJ8VvZthVkY/s1600/closet+yard+sticks.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-w89MUXsRDfQ/UPg5mbJW8-I/AAAAAAAAC3k/yJ8VvZthVkY/s200/closet+yard+sticks.jpg" width="105" /></a><span style="font-size: large;">2. measuring sticks - we use them often. Previously they were tucked, sort of, in the corner right inside the door. Amidst all the other junk falling all over the place, this was a disaster. Solution - mount a paper towel tube on the wall and slip the sticks in. LOVE it!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I believe this week's projects have been the most enjoyable and satisfying. I was dreading it, but really, it took very little time and is making a huge impact on daily life. I'm so happy! Big sigh of relief and contentment. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Don't forget to come back and vote, starting Friday morning and ending Sunday afternoon<span style="font-size: large;">. </span>See you next week with more organizing!</span>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07862575244739399798noreply@blogger.com17
